Palmer and Baker, Inc. produced these sketches of the proposed Veterans Highway which appeared in the 1954 edition of
the Jefferson Parish Yearly Review. With a $4,000,000 budget the highway was to include two 3-lane expressways with service
roads on each side. It would span Metairie from Orleans Parish to St. Charles Parish while running midway between Lake Pontchartrain
and Airline Highway. Like several other early proposals, the plan didn’t completely pan out – the service roads
were never built. (Courtesy of the Jefferson Parish Yearly Review.)
